Could Get Physical’s Booka Shade and M.A.N.D.Y. revisit the hysteria that came with their 2005 electro house anthem ‘Body Language’?

We will find out over the coming weeks as their second ever joint release ‘Donut’ continues to gather steam on the Berlin posse’s newly launched label Living The Dream.

Like ‘Body Language’, ‘Donut’ sounds completely different to anything that is out there at the moment, and yet, it is instantly recognisable as a Booka Shade and M.A.N.D.Y. track. There’s something about its cute synths, and child-like innocence that makes you want to wrap it up in swaddling clothes and lie it on a record platter.

The video too, is suitably whimsical, and runs like a day in the life of a cardboard box. 

The Get Physical dream team aren’t dilly-dallying over remixes either - the original single comes with a whopping six reworks (check the player below).

After the original, Gui Boratto’s floaty synth version is likely to blow up the most, although Logistics’ drum & bass remix and Bearweasel’s Lazy Dub offer refreshing angles on the anthem-in-waiting.

I particularly dig Boy 8Bit’s remix, which soars from a nursery rhyme into mainroom techno giving the track more of a peak time feel.

Overall, there’s something for everyone, and that makes ‘Donut’ a very tasty prospect for next month’s WMC.

In the run up to WMC 2010, we’ll be predicting which tracks we think will be big at the conference. Get your crystal ball out and let us know your own WMC track predictions below!
